Here's a preview of the November
schedule on Turner Classic Movies!
The November Star of the Month is
Sydney Greenstreet. Over 20 Greenstreet movies will be shown on Wednesday evenings.
The November
Noir Alley films are
5 STEPS TO DANGER (1957), THE LINEUP (1958),
JOHNNY O'CLOCK (1947), and TIGHT SPOT (1955).
The TCM Spotlight will be focused on musicals with great dance numbers, including titles such as
KISS ME KATE (1953) and SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS (1954).
It's a great month for fans of musicals, as in addition to the dance series, Leonard Maltin will be hosting an evening of "Musical Gems." The titles he's showing are START CHEERING (1938), REVEILLE WITH BEVERLY (1943), LADIES OF THE CHORUS (1949), and TIME OUT FOR RHYTHM (1941).
A particularly noteworthy film screening in November is the Gainsborough melodrama
THE MAN IN GREY (1943), starring
Margaret Lockwood, James Mason, Stewart Granger, and Phyllis Calvert. To my knowledge, it's a TCM premiere.
TCM will mark Veterans Day on November 11th with a lineup of films about the military.
Thanksgiving will feature a terrific lineup of family-centered comedies including MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE (1948) and CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN (1950). Black Friday is a day of eight Ernst Lubtisch films!
Additional November themes include the Torchy Blane, Blondie, and Bulldog Drummond series, along with football, Reno, fairy tales, Australia, dogs, staircases, and snow.
Filmmakers receiving multifilm tributes in November include Tim Holt, Gig Young, Mel Brooks, Jacques Tourneur, Marilyn Monroe, and David Niven.
I'll have a detailed look at the November schedule posted here around Halloween.

Ann Miller looks like she's going to throw her back out in that poster from Reveille with Beverly. :-|
ReplyDeleteI first heard of REVEILLE WITH BEVERLY, decades before I saw it, on the Johnny Carson Show. Johnny said that while he was serving in the navy during WWII, the only movie they had aboard his ship for a very long time was REVEILLE WITH BEVERLY. He said he watched it dozens of times.
ReplyDeleteOh, my. It's one of those months, is it? I have Bulldog Drummond and Torchy in my DVD collection, but if they are on - well, I'll just have to sit down and watch 'em.
ReplyDeleteThree cheers for Sydney Greenstreet!
All the 40s Gainsborough melodramas are worth seeing. They put the melodrama into melodrama.
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for your comments. Lots of fun stuff airing in November!
ReplyDeleteDforDoom, that's sure true about the Gainsborough melodramas LOL.
I need to finally catch up with REVEILLE WITH BEVERLY!!
Best wishes,
